Yet, our venue is less than one mile from downtown Callicoon, where you can enjoy local farmers markets, a variety of restaurants, and shops that have everything you might need for your weekend away.

Our newly renovated boarding houses include 16 rooms and feature a warm vintage design with hardwood floors, antique furnishings and vintage kilim rugs.
You Can After Party On Site
Our outdoor curfew for amplified music/noise is 10pm by town ordinance, but we do have a gorgeous indoor tasting room with Wi-Fi enabled sound system that's available for use until midnight if you want to keep the party going. If you are ready to relax, sit back and enjoy a bonfire or if you are up for the challenge check out some of our lawn games, including cornhole, ladder ball, and horseshoes.

Here at Seminary Hill we seek to provide you with the very best experience- before, during, and after the wedding.
